Remarks
The ChartTitle class implements the functionality of an individual chart title in a chart control.
A chart control’s titles are stored within the ChartControl.Titles collection, represented by an instance of the ChartTitleCollection class. This collection provides standard means for manipulating its items such as adding, removing and accessing them. A particular chart title is available via the ChartTitleCollection.Item property of the collection using indexer notation.

// Create chart titles.
ChartTitle chartTitle1 = new ChartTitle();
ChartTitle chartTitle2 = new ChartTitle();
// Define the text for the titles.
chartTitle1.Text = "<i>Basic</i> <b>HTML</b> <u>is</u> <color=blue>supported</color>.";
chartTitle2.Text = "The capability to word-wrap is available for chart titles.";
chartTitle2.WordWrap = true;
chartTitle2.MaxLineCount = 2;
// Define the alignment of the titles.
chartTitle1.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
chartTitle2.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near;
// Place the titles where it's required.
chartTitle1.Dock = ChartTitleDockStyle.Top;
chartTitle2.Dock = ChartTitleDockStyle.Bottom;
// Customize a title's appearance.
chartTitle1.Antialiasing = true;
chartTitle1.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 14, FontStyle.Bold);
chartTitle1.TextColor = Color.Red;
chartTitle1.Indent = 10;
